Fri, 06 Jul 2018 07:28:00 +0000http://www.continuouspart.site/?p=50A word of caution to tea lovers: Let your cuppa cool a bit before taking a sip. A new study from China finds that drinking tea at extremely high temperatures may increase a person’s risk of esophageal cancer, especially if that person also consumes too much alcohol and is a smoker.

Researchers found that people in China who consumed scalding tea — and also smoked tobacco and drank excessive amounts of alcohol — had a five times greater risk of esophageal cancer than people who had none of these three habits, according to the findings. [10 Do’s and Don’ts to Reduce Your Risk of Cancer]

China has one of the highest rates of esophageal cancer in the world, according to the study, publishedtoday (Feb. 5) in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

In particular, the researchers found that drinking very hot tea, along with smoking and drinking alcohol, was linked to an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. Squamous cells line the esophagus, and this type of cancer is the most common form of esophageal cancer in the U.S., according to the American Cancer Society(ACS).

But how might hot tea raise a person’s risk of esophageal cancer? Although the exact mechanism is not known, research has suggested that frequently consuming scalding liquids may result in long-term injury to the cells lining the esophagus, said lead study author Dr. Jun Lv, an epidemiologist at Peking University Health Science Center in Beijing. Indeed, frequently drinking very hot liquids, prepared at temperatures of 149 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) — which is much hotter than a typical cup of coffee or tea — can increase the risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, according to the ACS.

These heat-related changes to the esophageal lining may also increase the likelihood of damage from other risk factors for esophageal cancer, such as smoking and heavy drinking, which may damage the DNA in cells that line the esophagus, Lv told Live Science.

Tea drinkers in China

In the study, researchers looked at data from about 456,000 people in China ages 30 to 79. At the beginning of the study, the people completed a lifestyle questionnaire that asked how frequently they consumed tea, how much they consumed, how they prepared the beverage and which type of tea they drank. The participants were also asked whether the usual temperature of their tea was room temperature or warm, hot or burning hot. [4 Awesome Perks of Drinking Tea]

Though the researchers found a fivefold increased risk of esophageal cancer for people who drank scalding tea, drank large amounts of alcohol and smoked tobacco compared with people who didn’t do these things, not all tea drinkers need to avoid a steaming-hot cup, according to the study. The new study found that daily hot-tea consumption — even if it was served burning hot — was not associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer in people who were not smokers and did not drink alcohol heavily, Lv said.

But for people who drink too much alcohol or smoke tobacco, avoiding very hot tea might be beneficial for preventing esophageal cancer, Lv said.

Lv noted that the findings might apply to people in countries other than China as long as these individuals had lifestyle habits that included smoking and drinking alcohol excessively, as well as consuming scalding beverages and foods. But the most important ways to prevent esophageal cancer are to avoid tobacco and excessive alcohol use, she added.

One limitation of the study is that it relied on self-reported information from participants about their hot beverages and not on actual measurements of tea temperatures, the researchers wrote. It’s also possible that consuming other types of scalding beverages and foods may have contributed to the results observed, the researchers said. In other words, tea might not have been the only hot culprit.

However, the findings should not cause tea lovers to give up the hot beverage, which has many health benefits. Most people in the U.S. typically drink their tea — and coffee — at a temperature that seems unlikely to cause esophageal cancer, according to an editorial by two cancer researchers that was published alongside the study in the same journal.

But for fans of piping-hot beverages, it may be a good idea “to wait for the liquid to cool a bit first,” the editorial suggests.

Fri, 06 Jul 2018 07:24:37 +0000http://www.continuouspart.site/?p=48Genetics can influence the color of a baby’s eyes and hair, but it can also affect the development of certain birth defects or genetic disorders. That’s why women are routinely offered a variety of genetic screening tests in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy to evaluate the risk for these potential problems in their unborn baby.

Screening tests can determine whether the baby is more or less likely to have certain birth defects or genetic disorders, which may be inherited. Screening results along with other risk factors, such as a woman’s age and a couple’s ethnic background and family history of genetic disorders, are used to calculate the odds that the fetus might be born with certain genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, or sickle cell anemia.

Birth defects affect 1 in 33 babies — about 3 percent of all babies — born in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Birth defects can occur at any point during pregnancy, but most of them occur during the first trimester, when the baby’s organs are forming, the CDC says.

Genetic screening is offered to all pregnant women, and it’s usually discussed during the first prenatal visit, said Dr. Andrea Greiner, a maternal and fetal medicine specialist at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. “It’s optional, but not required.”

Most women get prenatal genetic testing to know what the risk is before the baby is born, Greiner said. They would rather know the information during pregnancy than at birth so they can make plans and decisions ahead of time or gain further knowledge, she explained.

Pros and cons of genetic screening

“Every woman wants to believe that her pregnancy is normal and uncomplicated,” Greiner told Live Science. If a pregnant woman chooses to have genetic screening, there is a possibility that the results could come back abnormal so it’s important to think about how this information might affect her, she noted.

But not all genetic screening occurs while a woman is expecting. In some situations, it may be done before becoming pregnant. For example, during pre-conception genetic screening, carrier tests can be done to determine whether the mother or father carry a certain gene for genetic disorders that might run in families, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia, and could be passed on when the couple conceives.

A common misconception among some pregnant women is that the only reason to do genetic screening and diagnostic testing is if they were going to have an abortion because of a positive result, Greiner said. But that’s not the case, she said.

Whether or not a woman decides to undergo genetic screening is her own choice, as positive results could produce anxiety and conflicting emotions. Another disadvantage is that genetic screenings can give false positive results, meaning they can be wrong and lead expectant parents to believe their unborn babies might have genetic abnormalities when they do not. There’s also a chance the screening will not pick up a chromosomal abnormality or birth defect when there is one.

That’s why pregnant women should not make decisions about terminating a pregnancy based on a positive screening result alone without obtaining a diagnostic test to confirm or rule out a diagnosis.

Screening vs. diagnostic testing

Genetic screening tests and diagnostic tests are not the same things. Genetic screening is measuring a level of risk for genetic diseases in the fetus, Greiner said.

Screening tests evaluate the degree of risk, or chance, that the fetus may potentially have certain common birth defects. But they cannot tell with certainty if the baby actually has the problem, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

First trimester screening tests are usually done between the 10th and 13th weeks of pregnancy. One common screening test measures the level of certain substances in the mother’s blood to assess the risk for Down syndrome and other chromosomal problems. Another first trimester screening test, known as “nuchal translucency,” uses ultrasound to examine the area at the back of the fetus’s neck for increased fluid or thickening, which may indicate a potential risk for Down syndrome.

A new screening test called cell-free fetal DNA testing is typically done at the 10th week of pregnancy and uses DNA from the mother’s blood to detect Down syndrome. Not covered by all health insurance plans, cell-free fetal DNA testing should only be used by women who are at high risk for chromosomal abnormalities, Greiner told Live Science.

“The science is still very new and patients should use some caution,” Greiner said, but it’s important for women to know that cell-free fetal DNA is not a replacement for diagnostic testing if it shows a positive result.

Some genetic screening tests can be done during the second trimester. One of them is called the “quad screen,” which measures four specific substances in the mother’s blood and can identify genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome. The quad screen can also help detect neural tube defects, which are birth defects of the brain and spinal cord, such as spina bifida. A second ultrasound, typically done between the 18th and 22nd weeks of pregnancy, may look for structural abnormalities in the developing fetus, such as cleft lip or heart defects, and can also screen for some genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome.

The screening tests are not considered harmful to the mother or the fetus, but positive screening results cannot make a definitive diagnosis. If a woman receives a positive result on a screening test, she should discuss her options with her health care provider, including whether she may wish to undergo any diagnostic tests, which have greater accuracy and reliability than genetic screening alone.

Diagnostic tests can actually detect many genetic conditions caused by defects in a gene or chromosome. They usually can tell prospective parents whether or not their fetus has a particular genetic problem. Some diagnostic tests carry risks to a woman, such as a slight risk of pregnancy loss.

Two common diagnostic tests

Both diagnostic tests — chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis— are invasive tests and involve extracting cells from the fetus and analyzing them under a microscope. Then geneticists can determine whether the fetus has too few or too many chromosomes present, or if the chromosomes are damaged and could result in a genetic problem.

Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)

Done during the first trimester of pregnancy usually at 10 to 12 weeks, this diagnostic test involves taking a small sample of cells from the placenta. Placental tissue contains the same genetic material as the fetus and can be checked for chromosomal abnormalities and other genetic disorders. However, CVS cannot identify neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, which can be detected by amniocentesis.

How it’s done: Depending upon where the placenta is located and using ultrasound for guidance, a small tube is inserted through either the mother’s abdomen or her vagina and a small tissue sample is withdrawn from the placenta.

“Amniocentesis is considered the gold standard for prenatal genetic testing,” Greiner said.

How it’s done: A long, thin needle is inserted into the mother’s abdomen to obtain a sample of the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus. The procedure is usually done between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy, and the amniotic fluid contains cells from the fetus with genetic information about the unborn child.

Pros and cons of genetic diagnostic tests

Greiner said that some of her patients ask her why they should do prenatal genetic testing because if a positive result is found, the genetic problem detected in the baby can’t be changed, fixed or treated.

She responds to this question by telling her patients that no one likes a surprise. Knowing positive test results in advance can help expectant parents plan and prepare themselves as well as their home for a baby who may have special needs.

Greiner said women need to ask themselves whether a positive diagnostic test result would cause them anxiety if they choose to continue the pregnancy, or if these genetic findings may provide reassurance if they decide to terminate the pregnancy as a result of the diagnosis.

I woke up within the morning tired as usual. It was a Saturday morning and I had slept for a strong 9 hours but still felt fatigued. By this time this was a each day ritual, to get up feeling uneasy and exhausted. I had misplaced my once wholesome urge for food and as of just lately, I had started skipping meals. Bloating was one other concern I was dealing with now fairly often. Vexed by my power fatigue I made a decision to do a bit of research and this is once I came to learn about liver detoxification. I had heard about it before but by no means had I attempted it for myself. The liver is the organ that helps our body eliminate toxins. It detoxifies our blood, digest fats, break down hormones and store essential minerals and nutrients. When our liver shouldn’t be in optimal situation our entire body suffers. In our busy lives, we overlook to take care of our body like we should. We’re consistently exposed to environmental toxins and pollutants. Moreover, to make conditions worse the unhealthy meals we consume places excessive pressure on our liver. This could lead to an impaired liver.

Luckily there are a variety of ways you can detox your liver of harmful toxins and maintain it in optimal condition. Right here I highlight a number of the ways I personally tried and located beneficial for detoxifying the liver.

Consuming Uncooked Juice:

Fruit and veggies are nature’s present to mankind. Not solely are they scrumptious but are also filled with important vitamins and nutrients required for the wholesome growth of our bodies. Ingesting uncooked juice is without doubt one of the best ways to detoxify your liver. Cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cucumber, beets and leafy inexperienced greens are all good juicing options. I personally suggest juicing uncooked beets and carrots. This blend is wealthy in beta-carotene. You may even add lemon or every other citrus fruit for an added dose of vitamin C.

Processed foods include trans fats, preservatives, synthetic substances and chemicals that can overwhelm your system, making it progressively more durable to operate properly. It’s best to restrict your consumption of sugary and processed meals so much less stress is put in your liver.

Consume Iron-rich meals:

Iron is crucial for the event of crimson blood cells. Extreme Iron is saved in the liver and liver regulates how a lot Iron is released into the body. Low ranges of Iron can lead to anemia and liver dysfunction. Consuming foods which might be wealthy in Iron might help hold your liver healthy. Meals wealthy in Iron embody nuts, grains, meat, fish, tofu, eggs, pulses, beans, Cow or goat liver, and seeds.

Drink detox water:

The easiest and my private favorite solution to detoxify the liver is to drink detox water. To make detox water you only need so as to add the juice of a fresh lemon in a glass stuffed with water and your detox water is done. Studies have proven that detox water helps to scale back irritation, DNA fragmentation, brain lipid peroxidation, and liver damage.

Conclusion

Should you wish to detoxify your liver than try a few of the ways I mentioned above. You will need to keep in mind that a few of these won’t be useful for you if you happen to’re on some medication. Also if you have a liver disease or condition it is best to consult a doctor and keep away from self-remedy as this will exacerbate your condition. With a nutritious diet and a healthy lifestyle, you possibly can preserve your liver in optimum condition.

Among the many many exams which are performed to chart the wholesome working of the liver, SGPT take a look at is likely one of the best to perform. A simple blood test, it measures the level of alanine transaminase (ALT), a type of enzyme produced in the liver which is launched into the blood stream when tissues are damaged. The enzyme is also called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, or SGPT.

The check is straightforward to carry out and will get over in a matter of few minutes. A small quantity of blood is drawn from a vein in your arm which is then despatched to the lab for testing. The usual range of values for ALT (SGPT) is about 7 to fifty six models per litre of serum. Please note the range can slightly differ from one pathology lab to the other.

In case the ALT level is higher than the standard vary specified above, the following would be the reasons of cause:-

Extra consumption of alcohol
Mononucleosis
Liver or Gallbladder disease equivalent to liver most cancers, liver failure or stones in gallbladder

An absolute eosinophils rely is a type of blood take a look at specially carried out to chart the variety of white blood cells called eosinophils present in the physique as these eosinophils charge up in case an individual suffers from an allergic disease, an an infection or every other medical condition. The check will also be carried out to observe the ongoing treatment in opposition to parasites.

Low Variety of Eosinophils

A low depend of eosinophils in the blood is prone to occur if a person is suffering from Cushing syndrome, bloodstream infection or treatment with corticosteroids. Though a low number does not signify that the person absolutely has a illness as the opposite parts of the immune system, compensate adequately.

Excessive Number of Eosinophils

A number of the widespread causes of elevated depend are as follows:-

Allergic dysfunction
Specific sort of cancer, or
Parasitic infections.
In case the count is just barely elevated, folks don’t show any signs, and the excessive depend is detected solely when a whole blood depend is done for another purpose. However, if the rely could be very high, the increased variety of eosinophils can inflame the tissues and even cause organ damage. The center, pores and skin, lungs and the nervous system are essentially the most commonly affected parts.

Put together for the Check

No particular preparation is required for an absolute eosinophils test. However, certain drugs must not be taken before the check as they can affect the take a look at results. Medicines which ought to be prevented are as follows:

Any depend between 50 to four hundred cells per microliter (cell/mcL) is considered to be a normal result. However, if the rely is greater than the required upper value, might be related to the following diseases:

Bronchial asthma
Autoimmune illnesses
Hay fever
Leukemia
Eczema
In case the rely is lower than the required lower worth, it might be on account of
